The streets were covered in a layer of gray and white, frost and mist, and there was a glowing haze in the sky, which sank with all its might, as if to crush all living beings.

Leng Xiao leaned over slightly, touched the root of the wall with his two fingers, and his fingertips were stained with a black spot.

"The blood stains are still warm, and they were taken first. He laughed and shook his head.

The corner of the wall is leeward, and there is a shabby grass canopy on the top, which can shade the sun and rain, and there are straw and bowls on the ground, and I don't know which beggar's shelter it was.

I don't know who doesn't even let go of beggars.

Leng Xiao stood there quietly, some thoughts flashed in his heart, and now the treasure map copy is flooded, even Hu Junya himself doesn't know that it is the real thing, except for the gang of bandits, there will be no second person who knows.

Since the gang of bandits chased Hu Junya straight away, they must not have known that the treasure map was abandoned on the streets, so it would never be they who picked it up.

In this way, there are only two possibilities: first, the treasure map has been cleaned up by the servants who sweep the streets, and the second is that the treasure map is falling on the beggars, being picked up by the beggars, sewing clothes and making handkerchiefs, and the beggars are now alive and dead.

He used his foot to remove the straw from the ground, and indeed found two tattered treasure maps, as well as a few rags. However, these two treasure maps are tattered and filthy, and they will never be the real ones.

A smile bloomed at the corner of Leng Xiao's lips, he didn't find the authentic work, but he was not far from the real thing.

Since this beggar even collects such a tattered treasure map and rags, he will definitely not let go of the treasure map that Hu Junya left behind. In addition, in the slightly bustling streets, discarded treasure maps are also scattered and visible, but the beggar refuses to walk more to pick them up, and there is only one possibility, and that is that his legs and feet are inconvenient.

A person with inconvenient legs and feet will inevitably not be able to go far, and even if he dies, he should die within a few feet. However, there are no bodies here.

Therefore, there were two more results: first, they were thrown into the wilderness outside the city by the servants to prevent the corpses from decomposing or even the outbreak of the plague, and second, the beggars were taken away.

There will never be only one beggar in a place, just like a normal tree, there will not be only one leaf.

He turned around slowly, and there seemed to be two faint lights in the distance that disappeared in an instant, and there was a sound. It was a pair of eyes that had been staring at him from the moment he appeared.

Shi San hurriedly began to flee, knowing that he had been discovered by that strange person. He acted almost without thinking, and he knew everything around him.

Then, a moment later, just as he thought he had escaped, he looked up and saw that the strange man was already standing in front of him.

Shi San didn't ask about 3721, he knelt down, wept bitterly, and kowtowed repeatedly: "Uncle, uncle, don't kill me, I'm a rotten beggar, don't kill me!"

Leng Xiao said: "I have a few questions for you, you answer truthfully, and if you answer correctly, you can live." If you get it wrong, you'll die worse than he did. ”

Leng Xiao didn't explain who the "he" in the words was, but Shi San was as expected, but he was even more afraid, kowtowed harder, and shouted at the same time: "Uncle just ask, the little one will never dare to have half a lie!"

Leng Xiao waved his hand to stop him and began to ask, "What's your name?"

"Uncle Hui, the villain Shi San, the stone of the stone, the third of the one, two, three, the family lives more than 200 miles away in Dashi Village, Qianlin County, four years ago there was a famine, all the way to this ......"

"Let me ask you again, do you know the beggar in the corner?"

Shi San nodded hurriedly: "I know, I know!" That old man's surname is Li, I don't know his name, everyone calls him Li Cripple, he has a leg and foot disease, he can't walk, if I don't help him from time to time on weekdays, he would have starved to death." ”

Leng Xiao said: "This is interesting, you are a beggar, and you still help others?"

Shi Sangan laughed twice, scratched his hair, and said: "What the little one said is true, two years ago, I saw that he was going to starve to death, so I gave him half a steamed bun, and as a result, he relied on me, if I didn't help him, he would starve to death, I couldn't help him, so I helped him until now." ”

"What did you see before I arrived tonight?"

Leng Xiao slowly looked at Shi San, this was the question he was most concerned about, as early as when he and Hu Junya came, Shi San had already hidden in the corner.

Shi San was swept away by Leng Xiao, and the whole person collapsed to the ground in fright, and prayed repeatedly: "Little one...... The little one didn't see anything, he really didn't see anything!"

Leng Xiao sighed lightly: "It's a pity, I answered wrong." ”

Shi San's eyes lifted a little, and he saw that the long sword on Leng Xiao's waist suddenly came out of its sheath by half an inch, blooming with a cold glow. He immediately opened his eyes wide, and hurriedly changed his words: "Uncle spare his life, spare his life! I saw it, I saw it, it was two scholars who took four or five big men and took Li Cripple away." ”

"They...... They didn't say a word, they cut off Li Cripple's hands and feet, I really wanted to deliver food to Li Cripple, I was so scared that I didn't dare to come out, just came back to my senses, uncle, you and the girl before came, just ...... That's all, spare your life!"

He kowtowed, and added: "They seem to be asking Li Cripple something, it's far away, the little one didn't hear clearly, and he really doesn't know anything!"

"Where did they go?"

"West City Gate, they went to the West City Gate!"

At this time, the city gate had long been closed, and even if it was a good work, it would not be easy to climb out of the city wall, let alone bring an old beggar.

Besides, it is impossible for those two scholars and four or five retinues to have such good light skills.

"With a half-dead man, it is impossible for them to stay in the hotel, they must have stayed in the streets, and the old beggar has had his limbs cut off, and he will not live long, and they will not wait until dawn to open the city gates, but they should have found a hidden place and interrogated directly. ”

Or maybe they have another place to live in the city. What are they going to ask, and what does the old beggar know?"

To find such a place, it is easy to say, difficult to say, and it is not difficult.

Those people cut off the limbs of the old beggar in the street, and did not deal with the bloodstains, which can be said to be fearless, and if they wanted to interrogate a person, they would naturally light the lamp.

Just look at this direction, which house is brightly lit, go and explore, you will know.

And in the middle of the night, in the direction of the West City Gate, there was only one family still lit up.

There were three vicious dogs in the family's yard, as strong as calves, gnawing on something, and when Leng Xiao jumped up the wall, three pairs of eyes swept over.

Leng Xiao didn't have the ability to let the dog see him without barking, and it was not easy to avoid the dog's perception, not to mention, he acted with a bit of randomness.

The best way to do that is to keep them shut forever.

There are three rooms with lights on, the first room is empty, with a few boxes of things, the second room is where two big men are sorting out something, and the third room is exactly what Leng Xiao is looking for.
